Abstract

The number of non-human primates aging in captivity has increased in recent years. More animals are visible in captivity than in the wild due to changes that have occurred with globalization and technological evolution. For this study, data was collected regarding the age of studies that mention senescent howler monkeys. The nominal qualitative variable in discrete quantitative variable infers the need for aspects to be considered to categorize this species as senile.
